Our local Tennis Pro Varvara Lepchenko lost a heartbreak in the opening round of the US Open in New York City earlier this week but continued on in Doubled competition with partner Saisai Zheng of China.
Lepchenko and Zheng defeated Sofia Arvidsson and partner Kaia Kanepi in two set winning 6-3, 6-3.
The duo move on the the second round facing Cara Black and Marina Erakovic.
